Museum d'Orsay Ticket
 
I would like to go to Museum d'Orsay during my stay in Paris. I can either purchase the ticket on that day or do it online and pick up the ticket in the withdraw point destination.

Please find the withdraw point destination on this site:
http://partenaires.ticketnet.fr/shop...7&idtier=78768

I am living 10 minutes away from Eiffel Tower and do not know if I am near any of the withdraw point destination.

Could you let me know if I have to wait in line (LONG LINE) for the ticket if I choose to get it on the same day?

Or should I purchase the ticket on line and go to the withdraw point location. If so, which location should I go to?

Btw, I will be arriving in Paris-Nord from London. If there's a nearby withdraw point location, please let me know. I didn't see it on the site.

Thank you!

Not sure what day you intend to go, but I am in Paris now and went to the D'Orsay on Thursday. I ony waited about 5 minutes. I imagine that the lines are probably longer on weekends.

I will arrive on Monday. Do you think I should reserve a ticket or do you think the line will be long? I will probably be there around 3pm.

We went on a Sunday morning and arrived early and had a 5 minute wait.

Hi H,

Your link didn't work.

IIRC you pick up advance tickets around the corner from the front entrance to the Orsay. You then go inside.

You could save 5 min. You could save 5 hours.
